First Saturday at Home for Awhile

After being gone for five weekends, this is our first one home; well, home for most of us. Christopher and Joseph were away photographing a wedding in St. Louis.

After working on his October Dad's Corner for awhile, Dad washed the front porch.Anna has decided to spruce up her area where she does school. This involved moving yard tools and the like into another area.AnnaJesse--somehow I didn't get a picture of him outside helping, where he was most of the day!I saw a bus "to do" list tape to the inside of a bus window. It's quite the list! (We're not going to finishing converting it before the next trip, but rather, these are just items that need to be dealt with before we are gone again.)Dad and Mom went out to lunch together--they're smiling for Anna, who had her camera out.The girls and Mom cleaned up the front porch--it needed it!And we had time to chat with Melanie and Abby. Abby has only become cuter since we left on the trip!Mid-week, John worked on taking the Families for Jesus decals off of our trailer, which we're getting ready to sell. We will be purchasing a smaller one to pull behind the bus (our current one is too big to legally pull with the bus!).

Dad, John, and Jesse, spent quite a bit of the afternoon working on the bus. Their project wasn’t going so well…

We’re looking forward to being back at our little church tomorrow morning. We’ve heard attendance has been down (several have moved to another home, and the nursing home in general doesn’t have as many), so I said to Dad we’ll need to work on that, and he agreed 🙂 … He said we’ll have to have a membership drive (teasing, of course!!). Seriously, we’re excited about seeing all our dear friends. We send back postcards to them each week, which is a bright spot in their week. We’re extremely grateful to Nathan, Melanie, Abby, Grandad, Grandma, and another family for taking over church while we’ve been gone.

Have a very blessed Sunday, trusting and resting in our Lord Jesus!

Sarah for the rest
